TitleReport on the workshop on financing options for the full implementation of results-based actions relating to REDDplus, including modalities and procedures for financing these results-based actions. Note by the chair of the workshop.

AbstractThe Conference of the Parties (COP), at its seventeenth session, requested the secretariat to organize a workshop on financing options for the full implementation of results based actions relating to REDD-plus, including modalities and procedures for financing such actions, before the session of the Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action under the Convention to be held in conjunction with COP 18. The workshop was held during the informal additional session of the ad hoc working groups, in Bangkok, Thailand, on 30 August 2012. Technical presentations made by Parties set the scene for in-depth discussions on three thematic areas, relating to: financing options and enabling conditions; private-sector participation; and a framework for financing the full implementation of results-based actions relating to REDD-plus. Workshop participants engaged in a rich interactive exchange of views, shared ideas, experiences and lessons learned in relation to relevant issues and identified key elements relating to financing the full implementation of results-based actions relating to REDD-plus, including modalities and procedures
